It might wor tryk if you to save the powerpoint to your computer in an editable format.

thanks, theres nothing to save all that comes up is a picture

and above it is this

Ch 08: Airway Management

Use the buttons on the left side of this page to choose from a wealth of resources that support this chapter.

but there is nothing there.

well truthfully. becuase im ocd that way lol. we covered the chapter i wrote my own notes, but i want the notes the chapter gave, even if i did get a 94 on the chapter test id still like the notes before tommrows class on a diffrent chapter

how long did it take them to respond back to you?

Welcome, remember to ignore everything I say and pay no attention to me whatsoever.

Keep your hands and feet inside the forum at all times, no flash photography.

also if memory serves me right never go into a house that you feel unsafe on when kiwi is asking the question......

and welcome aboard how far into your classes are you, how do you like them?

hi there welcome aboard!....wheres the introduction part. how long have you been an emt-b or (emt) as they call it now

I hope all of your patients treat you with the same courtesy and attempt to sue you into poverty every chance they get. I am in no way discrediting what happened to Dwayne but there is a difference between reporting questionable practices / billing and attempting to sue a provider for financial gain.

This is why so many providers are crippled by fear of litigation

well I live in a state where thats a possibility. but i know my scope of practice my protocols and proper documentation. so they are welcome to try. But as long as I do my job within my training, and to the best of my abilites. they wont achieve anything. But if i dont then i truely deserve it then dont I?

Thanks, no it's not the final test. ive called them i've contacted them via 24/7 chat support they assured me they would get the problem resolved. I was just trying to figure out if anyone ran into the same problems with them. and if so how long it took them to get a response. I have contacted the instructors as well to see if they cant move the process along faster.

no no no now with classes they give you this fancy place to go take your test and get all your notes but for this chapter its broken so i cant get my notes :/ ive taken my own but i still like having the ones they gave. and its called course compass.

i was looking back at his main concern being his employeer? well maybe having a talk with the employeer seeing if he couldnt sway things. but other then that i guess its really just making sure you cover your butt.

i still see it under failure to treat. they never even ran blood work.

Medical malpractice has the following four essential elements. All four
of these elements must be proven for malpractice to be established.

[1]
Duty of care resulting from a relationship between the patient and the
caregiver. Associated with this is a minimal "standard of care" (duty of
care).

The question here is "Did the caregiver agree to treat
the patient?" If the answer is YES, then an appropriate degree of skill
and competence is required (the minimal standard of care). In addition,
there may be instances where the caregiver has a duty to persons other
than the patient. For example, should a patient suffer an epileptic
seizure that leads to an accident to others (as in a car accident), the
caregiver may be liable for their injuries as a result of failing to
diagnose the patient's epilepsy or for not warning the patient against
driving when the diagnosis of epilepsy was established.

[2] Breach of that standard of care by caregiver (breech of duty)

This
is usually established by expert court testimony that defines what the
acceptable standard of care is and that explains how the caregiver did
not provide that care. Of course, expert witnesses for the other side
will argue the exact opposite.

[3] Injury to the patient

This
is often easy to establish, as in when the patient has had the wrong
kidney removed, but it can be more difficult to establish, for instance,
when the injury is psychological.

[4] Proof of the injury was caused by the breach of care (proximate cause)

Proximate
cause can be determined by asking if the patient would have been harmed
in the absence of the caregiver's actions. For example, would a patient
undergoing an appendectomy have been harmed if the surgeon had not left
a sponge in the patient's addomen? If the answer is NO, then the
surgeon's actions are deemed to have caused harm to the patient, and
thus fit the causation requirements.

A person accused of
malpractice can mount a defence by showing that one of the above four
elements is missing. For instance, he or she may argue that the injury
to the patient was preexisting and not caused by the caregiver.

Common
theories (types of claims) of malpractice include: 1) lack of
appropriate care; 2) lack of informed consent; 3) negligent supervision;
4) patient abandonment etc.

how about we file it under lack of appropriate care and call it a day?

i needed to vent so im trying to take my notes from class. but the website wont allow me to grab the power point notes. im stressing out there staff assured me somone would contact me soon that it was moved up the chain. i need to take my notes and there is nothing i can do,

has anyone else ran into simmilar problemes with pearsons? how long did it take them to respond to you

Failure to Treat

• 
  
  
  

  
  

  When a healthcare provider fails to treat a patient, there
  may be liability for medical malpractice. Failure to treat can occur in a
  variety of circumstances, including failures to perform medical tests,
  treat a known medical condition or advise the patient to see a
  specialist when necessary.

  
  
  
  

Medical Malpractice

• 
  
  
  

  
  

  When a healthcare provider fails to act as a provider in the
  same specialty would, a person who sustains injuries may be able to sue
  the provider for medical malpractice. Compensation may include damages
  for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering and attorney fees.

  
  
  
  

Just checking to see if anyones up! ok bye!

Sue them! for all medical bills and gross negligence. their negligence put you at risk of "really dangerous" problems as the other doctor put it. so yeah im sure he didnt document that he called you a hypocondriact. id sue him the doctor over him the hospital and the medschool.

contact med control see if they want to take responsibility to take him in then document and write it down. otherwise not much you can do.

other then get PD involved. but best shot would be to make a case to med control.

wow i dont even remember posting that anyways i was diagnosed with Cluster headahces all is well atm im in remission as they have times comeing and going. also retaking my EMT-B.

ty ty

well this is might be the weirdest place for the first post i'm currently sitting in my hospital room/bed with a massive headache which me and my doctor seem to think is a cluster headache I've been here since Monday and all my symptoms seem to add up pain on 1 side of the head affected side eye feeling like its going to pop out burning pain in my head swelling in the area of the headaches so anyways there giving me 4mg of dilordan every 4hrs and waiting for the neurologist to show up and i'm itchy as hell my nurse just gave me benadryl so if you post to me and i don't answer I'm more then likely pass out (25mg of benadryl) they think the itch is from an adverse reaction anyways feel free to respond back t (also note i pointed all this out to the doctor before thy figured it out but seems me and the doc are on the same page.. please feel free to respond back

posted this on another website and dont feel like changing it

to a non new member type post

i took mine 20 days ago made it to 151 questions and failed 3 sections the test is much harder then the study material. (but only 8 kids in my class passed so far)

First some backround:

I have recently started a new job, about a month ago. I will be working with the critical care transport team out of the local children's hospital. But since I haven't driven before, and I will be required to drive halfway, I am down at the company's corporate office getting some driving practice. Right now I am doing mostly interfacility transports, which I have not done before. I do have some 911 experience.

Now here is my problem:

I have worked with this same partner for 4 shifts now. After we load the patient, I usually shut the doors, he gets in, I get up front and start the truck. Put on my seat belt, and ask him if he is ready to go. I do this because I know some people prefer to get some of the paperwork and vitals out of the way before getting underway. From the beginning, he told me that I do not need to wait, that he is fine to do it while I am driving. Yesterday, After an extremely busy day of 7 back to back calls, we got a call to the NH that we were just leaving, to take a pt to the ER, emergency, no L&S, for hypotension. Upon arrival, the nurse stated that the patient had been having hypotension for about an hour, first BP being 90/50. Thirty Minutes later, it was 85/50. The patient stated she had been nauseas earlier in the day, and was feeling flushed now.

When we arrived at the hospital, The charge nurse asked what her BP was on the way. My partner stated it was 100/50. The nurse said, oh good it came up, and walked away. My partner asked for her signature, gave her the paperwork, and she walked away. After the call, as we were making up the stretcher, he made a comment about the call being BS anyway, and it began a conversation that really disgusted me. He hadn't taken the patient's BP, or any vitals, nor does he ever take any vitals. He makes them up on the state forms, and he had lied to the nurse about the pt's bp. I was really upset. I asked him to explain himself, and he said its just a transport its not really important to take vitals, and he can't hear with all the noise. When I pointed out that i always give him the opportunity to do them before taking off, he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

I feel that what he is doing is wrong. I am just not sure what to do. Do i report this to a supervisor? I am afraid to make a big stink of this, as I don't want to be seen as the new girl that comes in and causes a ruckus. But I also want to make sure that my partner isn't compromising patient care!

Some advice please!

hate to say it snoop but if something goes wrong and you dont report it you just as at fault so you better do something. Also what if there testing you to see if you would be a good employee so you should really say something

so i heard a fun little factoid that has my a little worried out of 27 kids in my class that have taken the test so far only 8 have passed

Well you should know this evening or in the morning. Don' lose sleep over it. If you failed you just study and test again.

theres the results anyone know what the bp of a child is how to do it mathematically they put that on my test and i've never even heard of it like is it 80mm x 2 yrs of birth or whats the correct formula

so its time! everything i worked for everything i trained for comes down to this one test here we go!!!!!!

so now i wait i think i failed but they didnt tell me! i have to wait for my results what kinda crap is this

so its time! everything i worked for everything i trained for comes down to this one test here we go!!!!!!

so im doing a little quizzing on Rea's interactive flashcards premium CD edition EMT basic has 4 readiness quizzes not doing so good now im really scared lol

I would suggest that you do a brief review now then around 330 today put the books away and relax. If you do not know the material now you will not learn it by tomorrow. By cramming you are liable to actually confuse yourself. So go relax and enjoy the day.

right i do have to look it over just briefly tho or do a test or something because i haven't looked at the stuff in a month. i just now got all the money and everything taken care of now i can actually focus on the test. But ill do what you said
